20 upon the State whenever there has been a violation of human rights, an obligation that must be discharged seriously and not as a mere formality. (see inter alia El Amparo Case, Reparations, supra 59, para. 61) The Court also reiterated its consistent jurisprudence with respect to this issue, according to which the State’s obligations continue until their complete fulfillment. 80. Consequently, the State is obligated to investigate the facts that resulted in the violations of the American Convention in the present case, identify and punish those responsible, and adopt the domestic legal measures necessary to ensure compliance with this obligation (Articles 1(1) and 2 of the American Convention).

In this regard, the Commission stated in its brief on reparations, that it considered state action to correct the systematic deficiencies in the penal system to be of the utmost importance, and that the promulgation of “laws, regulations, instructions or orders” would be necessary to prevent prolonged incommunicado detention, as well as the adoption of the necessary measures to respect judicial guarantees. 86. In the public hearing, the State submitted a copy of a recent law (cfr. copy of the Official Register of the Government of Ecuador of December 18, 1997, number 218, pages 1 through 3, containing the text of Law No. 44 “Reform of the Code of the Enforcement of Punishment and Social Rehabilitation and of the Law on Narcotic
